MIDWEEK COPA MX ACTION. Former U.S. U-17 Alejandro Guido scored for second division Dorados in its 2-1 win over Guadalajara in Mexican Copa MX play. Paul Arriola and
Stevie Rodriguez also played for Dorados, the farm team of Tijuana, where they normally play. They are allowed to play for Dorados, which advanced to the
knockout stages of the Copa MX, because Tijuana is not entered in the tournament due to its participation in the Concacaf Champions League.
